This is one of the most difficult conditions that occur during pregnancy.

Its believed to be caused by increasing level of human Chorionic Gonadotropic Hormone. (HCG)

It is characterised by severe nausea and vomiting during pregnancy. You may vomit more than four times a day, become dehydrated, feel constantly dizzy and lightheaded and lose weight

The woman vomits every food and water she takes

She may not even be able to stand smell of food

This situation can be really difficult.

It is different from morning sickness as the woman can use little things like food, mint etc to control morning sickness. She may even be able to eat later in the day. It also stops by 12 weeks

This condition is not supposed to be managed at at home as it can lead to serious complications

The woman will need fluid replacement therapy with intravenous infusions, some medications to reduce the vomiting and if there is an underlying condition it will be treated.

It may reduce by 16 to 20 weeks but some unfortunately will have to manage the condition till delivery.

There is treatment and it can be managed. Don’t stay home if you have been vomiting for several times in a day and nothing stay down there

Have you ever experienced this? How were you managed?
